3 months FFS!

 

[Dave]

Cursed.

 

[BratPack]

Well. Time to move on to the most serious question.

Which GWS midfielder is Flogoro going to trade pick 1 for?

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Wright's shoulder is hardly the club's fault. I think you meant to post in the Dodoro thread.

Not sure I said it was the clubs fault.

I said the club disappoints.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Jon Ralph just said a shoulder reco and club hoping he’ll be back by Rd 16-20!

 

[fishardansin]

Well. Time to move on to the most serious question.

If we finish bottom, I want Reid.

Surgery yesterday and at least 1/2 the year out apparently.

Half a football year or is he out for 6 months and pretty much the season?

Yes

First half of the season. It will be tough for him to come back and have any sort of meaningful impact you'd think.

Yep, look at Daniher last year. You don't come back well or quickly from a shoulder dislocation. Broken collarbone would have been much better prognosis.

Daniher played with a bung shoulder that was not repaired, wright should be fine when he eventually returns.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Jon Ralph mentioned the other night club is looking at round 16-20. So maybe if we’re still in the finals race otherwise it’s the season

 

[Old Campaigner]

At least he should be able to run pretty soon so he shouldn’t lose much fitness

Also has a work ethic a touch different to Joe...

A different idea of 'white line fever too'

 

[FlyingV]

well we get to see what Jones is made out of. Big year for him now.

Who was the a***hole who kicked the pass too low forcing 2MP to grab it low down? #kickthemout

Ah jesus they chopped both his arms off!

Key forward Peter Wright has undergone successful surgery on his right shoulder.

The reigning Crichton medallist had the procedure to repair damage from a shoulder dislocation and will have his arm immobilised before commencing a rehabilitation program.

“Pete had shoulder surgery on Monday and all went well,” McPherson said.

“He’ll be in a sling for the next two weeks, and then we’ll be able to commence his rehab program after that.”

Yeah but those metal arms...

 

[Lore]

The 12-14 weeks he was previously listed at is now 12 weeks on the injury update, so looking at about Round 18.

 

[Beerfish]

Should be cherry ripe for finals then.
